A BAD WRECK IN KANSAS.
Twenty People Hurt on the Memphis,
Near Mmimoutlu
Chf.rokke, Kan., Sept 10. There
were twenty people hurt in the wreck
of the Kansas City, Fort Scott and
Memphis passenger train near Mon
mouth, Kan., Saturday afternoon.
Several were seriously ' hurt, while
many escaped with only slight injuries.
The wrecked train was due here at 5
o'clock. As the train ncared the
bridge over Indian CreeK, one mile
west of Monmouth, an axle on the
rear coach broke. It ran 200 feet on
the track and then tore loose from the
train and rolled over into the back
water of the creek.
Uy this time the train had reached
the bridge, and was rocking fearfully.
The baggage car tipped and crashed
into the side timbers of the bridge.
The structure, unable to stand the jar
and strain, gave way, and the entire
train pitched into the creek, twenty
feet below.
The stream had been swollen by the
recent heuvy rains. The baggage car
fell first and the front coach fell par
tially ovet it, thus preventing the pas
sengers from being drowned. As it
was, they were tumbled together at
the end ot the car.
With the first crash, caused by the
broken axle, the excitement was most
intense, and when the bridge gave
way shrieks and cries arose above the
sound of breaking timbers. After the
train had fallen over the men but
slightly hurt broke open the windows
in the side of the car uppermost and
freed themselves. They then pulled
out tne wounded.
Among those seriously hurt are:
Hrakeman Morris, Cherryvale, Kan.,
who 'was in .the smoking car at the
time of the accident He was badly
bruised about the head and body; re
covery a on ot nil

A VOICE FROM COLORADO.
Democratic National Committeeman
j nomas scores tue in ministration, i
Denver, Col., Sept. 10. In a pub
lished letter replying to criticisms of
Frank P. Arbuckle chairman of the
Democratic state central committee
and receiver of the . land oflice, which
accused him of disloyalty to the Dem

of the national Democratic committee
for Colorado, says: "If the party in

cast its certain fate. If the man who
rode into power upon its greatest tidal
wave has in two short years wrecked
its fortunes and laid its face in the

to continue the plan that has for so
long occupied the attention of the bus
